Didn't want it. Needed it.

One question for EVERY Power Four college quarterback heading into 2025.

This was insane. But for my fellow college football sickos... let's dive in. 🧵

Max Browne (@MaxBrowne4) did a fascinating deep dive with J.C. Shelton from @ugafootballlive.

Here’s what’s fueling the problem:
-Athens has a giant loop around campus that's perfect for racing
-Players time themselves to see who’s fastest
-NIL money means Chargers and Lambos instead of mopeds
-Some players don’t even have a license when they arrive to UGA

Georgia football has a speeding problem.

And it’s way deeper than just “NIL money buys fast cars.”

Here’s what’s really happening in Athens 🧵

Kirby Smart has tried it all:
✅ Suspensions
✅ NIL fines
✅ Driver’s ed classes

But the arrests haven’t stopped. Why?

Rory never gave up.

[Connor Dethlefs @gritconnor]

Who could be the next golfer to win the Grand Slam after Rory McIlroy? 🏆

Jordan Spieth (31): needs PGA
Phil Mickelson (54): needs US Open
Jon Rahm (30): needs PGA & The Open
Brooks Koepka (34): needs Masters & The Open
Collin Morikawa (28): needs Masters & US Open
Xander Schauffele (31): needs Masters & US Open
Scottie Scheffler (28): needs US Open, The Open, & PGA
Bryson DeChambeau (31): needs Masters, The Open, & PGA

It only happens every 25+ years 👀

Houston was down 9 with 33 seconds left.

They didn’t quit.

Predicting next year’s HOF snubs. I think Frank Gore gets in 🥹

F*ck it, Ricky Davis highlights 🔥

[Connor Dethlefs @gritconnor]

I mostly just saw memes of Zane Gonzalez for fixing his hair…

But when I found out it was because he struggles with OCD, there were no interviews or videos to tell his story… so we made that video ⬇️

Zane Gonzalez is the definition of grit 🫡
